I hope you are keeping safe and healthy! Your quarantine reading needs are very important to me, and I notice that many of you are sending out gifts as well. Please don't hesitate to inquire about authors and books you don't see here--I have many books I have not had time to list just yet.

I want to assure you: My books and packing supplies have always been kept in plastic boxes in a room closed off to the rest of my place. Now I am using gloves when I handle the books and create packages.

Karen's Book Row features recommended reads and hard to find books. I specialize in feminist fiction, lesbian and gay fiction, African American authors, books from the counterculture, experimental literature, novels in translation, collectible books, and vintage children's titles.

Karen's Book Row is an online and pop up bookshop run by author-bookseller Karen Lillis. I've been working in bookstores and bookselling since 1997. I worked at a legendary literary bookstore in New York at the Turn of the Millennium, and I currently work in an ABAA rare bookshop for my dayjob. I studied to be a librarian in the late 2000s, but decided to bring my reader's advisory skills back to bookselling instead.

This book was a Mothers Day gift, and it was very warmly received. It came wrapped in the cutest faux newsprint, which I left on just because it was nicely done and unusual. Many thanks for the quick shipping and excellent book.
